    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Originally, Freddie Mercury was supposed to be at the pool party, but Queen said no. They did, however, allow an appearance by John Deacon, which worked out as Deacon was the one who wrote "Another One Bites the Dust", which is not mentioned in the scene but Deacon's insistence on that song being parodied by Al puts more emphasis on the satirical portrayal of Deacon as a self-centered semi-celebrity.
    • Goofs
      The car Al is driving while drunk clearly has the gear shift in Park no key in the ignition.
    • Quotes
      • Young Al: You... you think you're going to stop me from playing? You'll see. One day I'm going to be the best... Well, perhaps not technically the best, but arguably the most famous accordion player in an extremely specific genre of music!
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits feature an original song by 'Weird Al' Yankovic. The lyrics point out a specific person in the credits (production manager for Funny or Die Savvas Thomas Yiannoulou), reference the song credits, and include a reminder that the song itself is technically eligible for Oscar consideration (it actually isn't).
